Save it, Brian - you can set it up next to your Yaris or tC at shows with a cable mysteriously disappearing into the car...

 

umm brian you have to send that back. probably also with the boxes as well. they will bill you for all of that.. sometimes they just leave it with you in that case. make a hood prop with it

 

They did bill me for it..........then after al ot of drama and crap they decided that the copy of the check ipaid the installer for it that I did indeed own it........

Here is the best part as of tonight........after calling Qwest again as it had not be resended from my credit that I did indeed not owe Qwest a penny since the account is closed and now I owe the collections agency..........

Dear little brother,

Quit being a lazy little turd and do something with your life already! Our father has fed you, given you a place to stay, and got you anything you wanted (PS3, Pull up bars, new screen for your projector) even moved out of the upstairs master bedroom and to the downstairs one so you could have more privacy. You are 19 years old and haven't passed a class in 2 years dad and I have both offered you help, tutors, WHATEVER you wanted and you keep telling us "I'm working on it" Dad paid for you to be able to take classes online so you wouldn't have to face going to high school when you should have graduated two years ago. I took those same exact online courses and finished one a day, it's been 4 months and you are still dragging your huge feet and getting NOTHING done. I can not BELIEVE dad just lets you stay there and enables you to do whatever he wants. If I had the opportunities you have MAN what I would give for them! I could go back to school full time and quit work because someone else was footing the bill for me to live, what do you do? sit around, drink enough for me to worry that you have a serious problem and do drugs. You freaking OVERDOSED I got a call while I was HAPPY in Guam actually HAPPY, happier than I've ever been in my life I got paid to dive all day and party at night I was living a great life when my dad calls me to tell me that YOU overdosed, you my little brother who swore he'd never do drugs overdosed and your friend who we took in to live with us when we were kids left you there on the pavement at a park and ride in the hood to die. Your heart stopped 3 times before they were able to bring you back and I got on a plane and came home to come and do whatever I could to help you, how DARE you discount that how DARE you brag about dying like it's some badge of honor! Get your head out of your rear and look at the oportunities in front of you! I can't BELIEVE you would post on MYSPACE on a public forum that your father is a **** and needs to hurry up and die. He can read that, he's on your friends list. Do you have any idea how much you hurt a man who has made his goal in life to make sure you have all the opportunities most children NEVER have? SHAME ON YOU! You are what keeps that man going and he bends over backwards for you and what, you get tired of him asking how your day was or if you did any homework so you wish him dead? He should have kicked your sorry a*s out a long time ago and I hope he does it now because buddy you got another thing coming if you think this is what the world is like. You are smarter than this! you have so much potential! You were going to join the Marine Corps and all they told you that you needed to do was finish HS or get your GED, what are you afraid of succeeding? You can do anything dangit!

My husband and I offered to move in and help with his mortgage and things around the house since he is retiring and needs a hand (which you NEVER offer, so help me god if I come out and see our father working in the yard by himself while you sit in your bedroom and play video games on the cushioned ___ he has given you) but we have drawn the line in the sand. Dad needs help and you wont give it but we will. We told him we aren't moving in if you are still there taking advantage of him and the family with your horrible attitude. So little brother, last time I saw you, you said I was a b*tch.

Is this enough of a b*tch for you? Get your act together or I don't care how big you are I'm still your big sister and I can knock you the frick out.

With all the love in the world,
Your big sister.

 

Dang girl....looks like your brother needs some tough love...seriously. When I was younger I was hella messed up to my parents so bad that my mom started to see a therapist and he directed her to a series of tough love books and in the end it straightened my bottom out.....your Dad has done his job...he is only responsible for your brother until he turns 18...after that your brother should have taken notes and learned how to survive in this world. It's not fair to your Dad to worry about your brother....I'm so sorry I somewhat understand your frustration.....I have a family member who got arrested 6 months before turning 18 for a drug related incident and had a series of requirements set down by the judge and fines as well....his lack of responsibility left his parents to foot the bill AND his mother to stress out over making sure all his affairs were in order BEFORE he went to court, he was assinged to community service which he barely did and if he would have done extra hours he could have gotten some of his fines dropped but he didn't because he didn't care. Now he is 18 didn't graduate and is more worried about partying with his buddies than growing up. He disrespects his parents by calling them names and cussing them out and disrespecting their house...he thinks he runs the show and his dad won't do anything because he doesn't want it to turn into a physical altercation which it usually does....so his parents have pretty much given up on him and that is really sad...this is their youngest child and it's now their turn to enjoy their lives but they can't because he keeps such awful company and they are afraid that he is gonna do something that will come back to affect them.....so I see your frustration and I am sorry...it's like a no win situation because there is nothing we can do because we are not the parent...

 

dear online retailer. thank you for sending me some kind of funky hid headlight assembly, instead of the hella super tone horns that i ordered for my wife for her birthday. it is much appreciated. :/ also, thank you for resending me the correct one. at least ill have it by tuesday.

dear pay pal hurry the f' up so that i can order that blue bat front bumper overlay that she also wants!

 

Dear Adorian...............

Having met your father and seeing what life he has in his personality it is heartbreaking to see he must live with this trial........I see the love and fire in his eyes when I talked with him.....he has learned how to live and enjoy life........

This is going to be a painful time in your lives........looks that your brother is in need of freedom that only you and your father and family can and need to give to him.........he needs to leave the nest that he has been provided and learn to walk or fall........as he is tearing down those that are already on pained hearts........

I have walked in your brothers shoes.........and he needs to take his hat and coat and find where it is going to take him...........not everyone ends up at the destination they are meant to go...........many end up lost forever.........

No matter how hard we try to shelter......we cannot bear the burdon forever........leaning on the hearts of others..........we must learn to walk on our own roads........and allow others to learn to walk theirs................

 

a little back story on that situation,

My little brother and I lived with our mother until we were 10 when she asked us if we wanted to go to lunch with our dad, we went out... she never came to get us.

My dad has three kids, my big brother Matt who I met a few months ago who is 30, me, and Austin. When I was 13 years old I was caught doing drugs at school, they called my father and he took me home, on the way home he said you have three options here, you can go to treatment, you can fix this yourself, or you can leave.

I thought I knew EVERYTHING and decided option number 3 it was, I left. I tracked down my mother who wanted nothing to do with me and convinced her to let me stay there if I stayed out of the way, I slept on benches, under bridges, at friends houses, my life got a lot worse before I realized only I could make it get better. I've done a lot to make ends meet and figure my life out, I was so angry at my father for a long time until a few years ago when Austin overdosed and I saw the example I had set down as an older sibling, he never saw me respecting my father and step mother for the amazing individuals they are. I broke my dads heart when I left and I'm scared that he clings to that pain so wont push Austin to test his wings and fly for fear that he will fail and spend years angry at him.

I now have the most amazing relationship with my father and my step mom who has been more amazing than I ever could have dreamed.

My father is an amazing man and all I can do here is support whatever decision he makes, I personally hope it's to throw the spoiled rotten brat living under his roof out. No more silver spoon for him. No matter what, I have a great deal of respect for my father and it enrages me to see my brother disrespecting it.

 

Allie, your dad doesn't deserve the trials you little brother is putting him through.

I've only met your little brother once, and truthfully I was not in the least impressed.

It's not an easy stance you've taken, but I believe you and your dad (and your hubby, through your growth) will benefit with you taking your dad's side in this and standing strong.

Good luck on getting your brother started in the right direction, though it really is something HE has to do for himself.

Hang in there, and be firm, and help your dad to be firm, too.

 

Thanks Tom

It's hard because when mom left I became the mother figure to him and then when I left all of the sudden he started doing drugs and hanging out with the wrong kids you know how the story goes.

We all love him very very very much and know he can succeed, I'm terrified that if dad throws him out Austin will just feel like his mother and his father gave up on him and he'll give up too. When in reality nobody gave up on him. I just don't know what I'd do if he was out on the streets and overdosed again and this time there was nobody there to find him.

But we can't let him keep treating the family this way, it's tough love or no love because I know I for one am at my wits end.

 

(In thinking back about it, I think what bothered me about your little brother was him treating family as if they were his personal servants - that feeling of entitlement, that things were just "owed" to him. He's got to break that.)

 

Dear Adorian

I know what your dad is going through. One of my kids was a terror (at least she seemed that way to me at the time, although now I've seen kids who are much worse) and kept me up night after night waiting for her to get home from some party or other. She ran away when she was 16 for a few weeks until I tracked her down. I went to Youth Court numerous times with her and was getting embarrassed to face those "community people" in Youth Court. Finally she got caught shoplifting and when the police called me, I told them to keep her in their holding cell for the day because I couldn't leave work. Sitting in a police holding cell all day woke her up, she now says. She's a model citizen and doing really well for herself and her family. (She has a teenage daughter who isn't allowed to get out of line!!)

Tough love is just that.... tough. But it was what I needed to do. Your dad needs to set some limits and stick to them "or else" .... which could include sending your little brother to drug treatment or being kicked out on his butt. It's so hard, I know, but he won't ever grow up if this step isn't taken. It's why mother birds kick the little ones off the edge of the nest. Otherwise, they never use their wings. Limits could even be a requirement to pay rent to your dad ... which means he's going to have to get a job at McDonalds, where he might realize a high school diploma and better job might be useful. Or maybe he'll find he likes life on the streets and that will be his path. You all tried..... And from my experience, I think boys take longer to GROW UP!!

I don't think your brother wants to sit around playing video games all his life, but he's stuck in a cycle of laziness and a need to feel better, so he turns to chemicals. Drug and alcohol treatment teaches people how to break that cycle, but the person has to want to change. If he doesn't, he's going to drag your dad right down. Your dad needs you to help him be strong. Give your dad some Tough Love books and a whole lot of love and encouragement. Someday he'll thank you!! (this is when the child becomes the parent....)

 

Dear Holland Residential

I hate you! I freaking hate you! First you pressure was the sidewalks without notifying us so we could move our cars. Your man that did the pressure washing was walking away with mud and gunk all over the the cars. Luckily I caught just before i started packing him and asked if he would clean my car from the mess he made. Well mine was the only one cleaned up, sorry to the neighbors! Oh what makes it even better, I have many little rock chips in my front bumper because of this and what is your response to these allegations? I dont see them, its freaking raining, of course you wont see them! Rub my bumper, which she did and she said I dont feel anything. What a joke! Now, with plenty of rock chips in the front of my car, i have to go deal with it because obviously I dont take care of my car... go figure right?!

You are lucky that I am locked into this lease, or I would be moving by next weekend.

P.S. Adorian, if you want your bro to go through at least a GED course to get that under his belt. Let me know, I will sign him up through my company. Or put him into a training program that will give him construction based training, classroom time, and a GED. All of the kids going through that program have flipped their life around and are doing something. So please let me know. I would love to help.

 

Man, you guys always seem to have the worse luck i know of!

 

Thanks for the advice and understanding everyone. My father put his foot down and Austin has until the end of the month to graduate or pack his stuff and leave.

He's been enrolled in the Marine Corps delayed entry program for a few months now and all they are waiting on from him is for him to finish his classes, my father said if he graduates and is awaiting activation to go to boot camp he can stay past the end of October, but he'll be paying rent and contributing as an adult not a whiny spoiled child.

We'll see how this month goes, no matter what I support my fathers decisions here as I can only imagine how hard it has to be for him, he's a great father and I am very upset that my brother put him here.

 

I think this will be a great positive slap in the face for your bro. Something that is needed.
